Sex in Space - Manned mars mission.
 

I read an article today talking about chemical sterilisation to help achieve success in a mission to mars..

"But scientists such as Professor Powell are concerned that the emotional fallout from having a crew where some are happier than others, or where relationships are made and then fall apart, could be disastrous. He noted the comments of one Russian cosmonaut about time spent cooped up in the Mir space station that "when you have two people locked up in a very small environment for months at a time, all the conditions for murder are met." Mix in sex, and you almost have the script of Othello in space.
"

"A crew heading to Mars would potentially be away for three years: six months travelling out, two years on the Red Planet waiting for the Earth to come back into alignment for the six-month trip back. "

Interesting..

They could always send 3 gay men who could have a 3 years orgy :)

A love triangle.. that i suspect would be highly volatile and unwelcome in space.
